Energy Management

THE INCREASING COST OF NATURAL ENERGY RESOURCES COUPLED WITH THE GROWING NEED TO INHIBIT POLLUTION MANDATES THAT THE COUNTY IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES WHICH WILL CONSERVE ALL FORMS OF ENERGY USED.

TO MEET THE NEED, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IS COMMITTED TO INSTITUTING AND MAINTAINING AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM IS A COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAM THAT LOOKS AT EACH INDIVIDUAL BUILDING IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION RECOGNIZES THAT THE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CONSERVATION MUST BE SHARED BY ALL EMPLOYEES BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS IN REGARDS TO ENERGY SAVINGS.
